✨ Many people may know this, but we are a charity which is run entirely on donations.

A donation, no matter the size, means everything to us and can allow us to continue our goals of helping others through dog therapy. 🐶

🔶 October is and people may not realise how dog therapy can be very helpful for those with ADHD.

Dogs can provide a sense of calm and understanding which can help those with ADHD take a moment and have a period of clarity. 🐶

📣 It’s crucial to remember that your mental health is always important – regardless of who you are.

It may not seem like it at times but there are people who will listen to you and want to support you in any way that they can. 💙

We are there to help with mental wellbeing with a visit from our dogs, but sometimes you need more professional assistance.

✨ This time last year, we had the most heart-warming interaction with a little girl who was also a Brownie.

After she had had a visit from Canine Concern earlier in the year, she decided to work on her charity badge by raising funds for us through a cake sale. She also did a presentation on the work we do. 🐶

Her cake sale raised a fantastic £21.90, and we couldn’t be more grateful. 💙

Autumn can make people feel a bit down due to the weather changes, but volunteering is a great way to help introduce some joy in your life due to being part of a community and socialising with so many different people. 🐶

✨ Clare, Paddy, and Ralphie were given a wonderful gift from an inmate at HMP Wymott’s Psychologically Informed Planned Environments unit.

This unit is a progression unit for men who suffer from severe mental health issues. These visits are fantastic as they find the dogs give them a sense of calm and distraction.

The men all made a card for Clare and the boys and signed it saying thank you. 💙

Well done for all your hard work you three! If you’d like to request a visit from Canine Concern, please see the link in the comments below. 🐶

Conker and Dawn had a lovely visit to the care home recently. 🐾

It’s a win-win situation as Conker gets to be fussed over and the residents get to see him and brighten up their day. 🐶

✨ Today is .

It’s a day all about celebrating older people and their contributions throughout their life. ❤️

We often spend time with older people with our care home and hospital visits, so we know how special they are and how precious it is to put a smile on their face. 😊
